Yes, and I’m grateful for their sacrifice. But it’s tempered by the reality: Those who came back did not just create “enduring institutions”— they raised a Spock-fed generation of selfish twits who have harmed and are still harming this country in fundemental ways. Simply stated, they were bad parents, and we are still suffering the effects of their negligence.

Simply stated, they were bad parents

That's unfair.

The young men who fought in WWII were children raised in Roosevelt's pseudosocialist America.

It was the parents of the WWII generation who bought into the whole Populist/Progressive movement and who created the New Deal. LBJ and his fellow architects of the Great Society were a generation older than the WWII vets. LBJ and his fake Silver Star.

Since I am one of the old guys of which you speak, let me fire a shot or two for discussion. First of all, naturally we have to find someone to blame for this mess we are in. And blaming “their parents” is always a good start by the well educated segment. Second: perhaps not doing a “Normandy” on the Liberal Movement in our country was the biggest mistake us old guys made. Maybe we didn't recognize the danger.
